(An incident occurred where a man was about to kill. They said to him: "Say, 'Let my death atone for all my sins.'" He said: "Let my death be atonement for all my sins except this sin. If I committed it - may I not be forgiven, and the court of Israel be pure." When the matter came before the sages, their eyes welled with tears.
